Orbiter Space Sim

From the mind and hands of Dr.Martin Schweiger comes a FREE program to
simulate orbital mechanics and rocketry. With his latest version extreme
customization is possible with the programming of DLLs to interface with
the software.

From the Meadville Space Center, in the heart of northwestern
Pennsylvania, comes a series of add-ons for Orbiter that takes you back to the early
days of the space race. You can experience the thrills of yesterday to understand the
challenge of the future.

Atlantis Space Shuttle with MMU, RMS, and Satellite Deployment (11/06/03)
This module is now included in Orbiter thanks to Dr. Martin Schweiger.
The excellent Atlantis module has the ability
to use the MMU for EVA, use of the RMS, and to configure a Atlantis scenario with the ability to launch the
satellite of choice. Also you can grapple and position your satellite payload with the RMS and jettison it
at the location the arm places it. Now has the ability to grapple, release, and stow satellites.

Gemini Titan 4.5 (10/23/2005)
The forgotten manned program of the United States. However without the expertise and skills
developed during Gemini, Apollo would have never made it to the moon. This includes Gemini III, IV, and VIII and
EVA capabilities. This version includes Virtual Cockpit, working ADI ball, and attitude mode. *SOME SCENARIOS REQUIRES EARTH 1962
